Golden State Killer case: Ex-cop Joseph James DeAngelo arrested

A former police officer is suspected of being an elusive serial killer who police say committed at least 12 homicides, 45 rapes and dozens of burglaries across California in the 1970s and 1980s, officials announced Wednesday. Joseph James DeAngelo, 72, was arrested Tuesday, Sacramento County Sheriff Scott Jones said.

Sacramento County jail records show DeAngelo was booked overnight and was ineligible for bail. The FBI says it has a team gathering evidence at a Sacramento-area home linked to DeAngelo.

Despite an outpouring of thousands of tips over the years, his name had not been on authorities' radar before last week, Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert said.

"We knew we were looking for a needle in a haystack, but we also knew that needle was there," Schubert said. "We found the needle in the haystack, and it was right here in Sacramento."

Leonardo da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi," which became the world's most expensive artwork when it sold for $450 million in 2017, had a (relatively) modest estimate of $100 million.

Allison Mack attempted to recruit Emma Watson to join New York 'sex cult'

An American actress accused of being a member of a New York “sex cult” attempted to recruit Emma Watson, it has been claimed.

Allison Mack, 35, was arrested on Friday and pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking. She will on Tuesday appear again before a New York judge, for her bail hearing.

Ahead of the hearing Business Insider reported that the Smallville star attempted multiple times to recruit Watson to join NXIVM – an invite-only group of women who were allegedly pressured into starving themselves and having sex with Keith Raniere, the group’s leader.

Mack repeatedly attempted to approach the British actress via Twitter in 2016, asking her to consider joining a "women's movement."

She did not manage to make contact with Watson, however, as she used a wrong Twitter account.

In January 2016, she tweeted: “@EmWatson I'm a fellow actress like yourself & involved in an amazing women's movement I think you'd dig. I'd love to chat if you're open.”

The account appears not to exist - unlike the @EmmaWatson account, which has almost 30 million followers.
